[Stronguy]

Ok, I'll bite.

[ComicsAndCode]

Yes

 

The only time to grab two points is in the 9.x range

[UKavenger]

As a total newbie..... I'll give it a go!!

[Monstro]

i'm in

[mica]

So far everyone but the coin guys are in.

[topofthetotem]

i'm in!

[Aman619]

count me in!

 

its funny cause I just came across some emails from Brad and Flick from our teamup grading contest!!

 

but, can you go over the points again. Im confused by the 1 pt and .2 off system.

 

if the book is a 9.0

player 1 guesses 8.5 ... he gets 2 pt (off by one grade)

player 2 guesses 9.0 ... he gets 4 pts (nailed it)

player 3 guesses 9.2 ... he gets 2 pts (off by one grade)

player 4 guesses 9.4 ... he gets 1 pts (off by 2 grades)

player 5 guesses 9.6 ... he gets 0 pts (off by 3 grades)

 

right?

 

or does the system vary above 9.0 where the grade levels are only .2 apart?

and if so... why??? Seems to me we have always played it that each CGC level is a full grade higher...regardless of ehether its .5 or ,2 pts apart. Has there been a call for a chamge this time around?

 

not trying to be an instigator... just keeping with the times...

[JuliusSeizure]

What the heck, I'll play, just for fun.

 

Thanks for doing this.

Yes this time it will vary for the 9.x grades.

 

In your example above;

 

Player 1 would get 1 point

Player 2 would get 4 points

Player 3 would get 2 points ( being he/she is off +/- .2)

Player 4 would get 0

Player 5 would also get 0

[Sal]

an interesting twist would be to announce before you start that there is a single PLOD in the mix. if you guess the right book you get a plus 5 bonus, but if you guess wrong you lose 3 points

Sign me up! Thanks for putting this together Nik!

Trying to hopefully keep this pretty basic without subtracting points

 

But I will add this, first person to nail 5 grades in a row will get a pretty cool OA page.

[nik]

Nothing extreme but I think its pretty nice, and this is the page I'm talking about it.

you're just not doing it because you didn't think about it first. Greeks and their ownership issues...waah the Romans copied everything from us first waah

Aman is correct relative to past contests, but as long as we all now understand your new rules, all is well.................

 

and Sal - please, no more "suggestions" - we're lucky enough as it is that JC is on hiatus for awhile...........

Yes

Gotcha. Off by 1 grade, not off by 1.0 grade.

[Warlord]

Count me in.

 

BTW, I got 2nd place (choked and didn't cross the finish line to grab 1st place ) in the STL grading contest. One prize I won was a subscription to E-BIGS. I'd like to donate it to someone who would like to use their service.

 

So, if you want it, post an and PM me your name and e-mail address and I'll provide it to E-BIGS.

[Fan4Fan]

I am in!

 

Now about some of those rules...
